If you collect vintage Kenner style toys, the ReAction Alien line by Super 7 will fill in the voids in your collection. Kenner was supposed to make 3 & 3/4" action based on the movie ALIEN. Unfortunately, they were never made. Fortunately, Super 7 realized there is a market for figures based on the unproduced 1979 Kenner line.At the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, Super 7 released a ReAction figure 2 pack advanced promotional sample of Kane in Nostromo Spacesuit and The Alien. The other exclusive Super 7 released at SDCC to promote the ALIEN line was the Early Bird Package. This was based on the one Kenner sold in Christmas of 1977. Kenner did not have the Star Wars figures ready to sell by Christmas, so they came up with the Early Bird concept. You buy the certificate that includes a display stand and other goodies. The main draw was that you would receive 4 figures in the mail as soon as they were produced when you send in the certificate. Super 7 did the same thing as an homage to Kenner.Packaging : 2 Pack The packaging for the figures is pure genius. The box resembles the Kenner mail away design. It has the Kenner ALIEN logo and reads TOYFAIR 1979 ADVANCE PROMOTIONAL SAMPLE with a CANCELLED stamp design over it. A paper inside explains more about the line as Kenner would in 1979 to clients at Toyfair.Early Bird Package The package is based entirely on the Star Wars Early Bird Certificate. The colors, design and concept fit perfectly for this line.Sculpt :2 Pack The details on the figures are very crisp. Both the Nostromo Spacesuit and Alien sculpt capture the era perfectly.Paint : 2 Pack The figures are unpainted as they are supposed to be samples for the upcoming line. The color is more fitting for the blue urethane hardcopies Kenner made in the 90's as opposed to test shots in the 70's. Articulation : 2 Pack There are 5 points of articulation on the Kane and 6 on the Alien. The Alien tail can move and a lever on his head make the inner teeth emerge.Accessories :2 Pack The Kane comes with a removable helmet and the Alien comes with a removable dome.

Early Bird Package Inside the package comes a display stand, Space Club Membership card, stickers and photos.Price : 2 Pack The 2 packs was sold at SDCC at $40. Big Bad Toy Store has them available for pre order for $189.99 hereEarly Bird PackageThe Early Bird Package was free at SDCC when you pre paid for the figure set being released and shipped to you in October. The envelope sells on average for $100 currently.

The Verdict : The figures and package are both fantastic pieces for the lover of vintage Kenner toy line. The prices are unfortunately very high because the demand exceeds the supply. It may be worth waiting a while to see if the price drops before purchasing them.
